Study summary

This study will examine the work status of all adult patients admitted over a 6-month period to the University Hospital in Kraków, Poland, for treatment of urological diseases. All admitted patients will be surveyed about their job situation. Patients who are occupationally active and undergoing major oncological surgeries (such as radical cystectomy, prostatectomy, or nephrectomy) or procedures for urinary tract stones will also complete a quality-of-life questionnaire and be followed up by phone at 3 and 6 months. The goal is to learn how treatment affects patients' ability to return to work and their well-being, to help guide support and rehabilitation strategies.

Study population

Consecutive adult patients admitted over a 6-month period to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology at the University Hospital in Kraków, an academic tertiary care center in Poland. As this is a uro-oncological department, patients with urological cancers are likely to be overrepresented. The population includes individuals hospitalized for a range of urological diseases, with a subset of occupationally active patients undergoing major uro-oncological surgeries or procedures for urinary tract stones. Participants represent a typical tertiary referral population treated for both malignant and benign urological conditions.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Adult patients (≥18 years) admitted to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology, University Hospital in Kraków, during the 6-month study period.
  2. For the prospective follow-up cohort:

    1. Occupationally active (employed) at baseline.
    2. Undergoing major uro-oncological surgery (e.g., radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, nephrectomy) or a procedure for urinary tract stones (e.g., ureterorenoscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy).
  3. Able and willing to provide written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients unwilling or unable to provide .
  2. Patients who are unemployed or retired at baseline (excluded from the prospective follow-up cohort but included in the baseline cross-sectional survey).
  3. Patients not undergoing major uro-oncological surgery or urinary tract stone procedures (for the prospective follow-up cohort).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • Patients admitted to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology over a 6-month period

    Adult patients (≥18 years) admitted over a 6-month period to the Department of Urology and Oncological Urology, University Hospital in Kraków, Poland, including a subset of occupationally active individuals undergoing major uro-oncological surgeries or procedures for urinary tract stones.

    Other: Occupational Status Survey and Telephone Follow-up and Quality-of-Life Assessment in a subset of patients

Interventions

  • OtherOccupational Status Survey and Telephone Follow-up and Quality-of-Life Assessment in a subset of patients

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Occupational Status of Patients With Urological Diseases

    Descriptive assessment of employment categories (employed, unemployed, on disability, retired) among all admitted patients, and changes in employment status over time for occupationally active patients undergoing major surgeries or stone-related procedures.

    Time frame: At hospital admission (baseline), and at 3 and 6 months for the prospective cohort

  2. Return to Work Rate in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Major Uro-Oncological Surgeries

    Proportion of employed patients at baseline who resume or maintain work following radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy, radical or partial nephrectomy, or nephroureterectomy.

    Time frame: 3 months and 6 months after surgery

  3. Return to Work Rate in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Procedures for Urinary Tract Stones

    Proportion of employed patients at baseline who resume or maintain work following ureterorenoscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy.

    Time frame: 3 months and 6 months after procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Quality of Life in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Major Uro-Oncological Surgeries (EQ-5D-5L Score)

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months

  2. Change in Quality of Life in Occupationally Active Patients Undergoing Procedures for Urinary Tract Stones (EQ-5D-5L Score)

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
